I was looking at this one:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/Mini-Box-picoPSU-160-XT-Power-Mini-ITX-Supply/dp/B005TWE6B8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1469624504&sr=8-1&keywords=pico+psu

 

But I'm not sure if it would be safe to use with a low-ish power HTPC.

That seems to be the best so go for it.

And those things are definitely safe, right? No chance of a fire? Maybe I'm just a bit paranoid, but still.

Those appear to be pretty high-quality capacitors (haven't looked into them, just eyeballing) so I'd assume quality is fine, wouldn't expect it to perform flawlessly electrically seeing its price. Check warranty info and if the warranty is more than a couple years then it's probably an OK thing to buy
